Some approaches vanished from Garmin

[CopterJohn]

RV Folks,
We aware that GPS approaches to several smaller airports have been dropped by Garmin from the Jepp IFR database. So while you may have a valid paper or electronic chart, the approach will NOT be in a Garmin IFR approved unit.
These include some popular airports like Osage Beach, MO. Waseca, MN, Wisconsin Dells, etc. Several 3 characted ID airports also affected. Here is a list of dropped approaches.

Any idea why they were dropped?

[CopterJohn]

Garmin deemed them non WGS84 compliant. FAA regional offices here looking into the lack of notice to airmen.

[Radomir]

I believe those are the ones that were coded in the database with the 0 degree glidepath angle.. Garmin can't handle that so they dropped those..

[CopterJohn]

Radomir is correct

[FORANE]

I just fired up my non-waas G 430.
35A, RNAV 05
35A, RNAV 23
Both appear, both are selectable, both appear on map after selecting them.
I have the current Jepp data card in the 430.

What gives?

[Radomir]

Yes it affects WAAS units only.. because this happened when they introduced LP minimums at certain airports (such as 35A).. You can't do LP minimums with a non-WAAS unit..

[CopterJohn]

For anyone following this thread, Garmin reported back to us that this is a software issue across the WAAS platform that will require updates to certified units. They do not expect code revisions until summer of 2014.

Garmin announces software upgrade version 5.10 on Feb 6. Two of the changes addresses RNAV w/LP mins. This software upgrade should allow RNAV LP that don't have a Vertical Descent Angle (VDA) charted to be included in the nav database again. This issue has affected about a hundred RNAV approaches, so far.

There are a multiple of other changes with this software upgrade.

Anyone know if there is a fix for this issue yet?
I have a Garmin GTN 650 which lacks these approaches.
